⚽UEFA Europa League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Winners: Eintracht Frankfurt!

Bowen's injury will come as a big blow to West Ham's ambitions against Sevilla. He was their standout player and one of the main threats going forward, Sevilla will be harder to break down without a player of his quality.

Sevilla will be without Martial (injury) and Delaney (suspension). Still, they are playing at home and should be considered as favorites.

I think that in this match even with the injury and suspension Sevilla is still going to be the favorites. Because they have performed really well in the league and their opponent West Ham also has a case of injury. And another reason is that Sevilla is going to play in their home which gives them certain advantages.

There are going to be two games in the first day of the rematches which is March 9. Betis - E. Frankfurt and Porto - Lyon. Betis and Porto are favoured by bookmakers by nearly the same odds now. And they have a good point there too. These teams both don't have very easy games theoretically. But they are still holding the advantage of playing home games in their hands and they are better teams than their opponent in general too. Honestly, I'm thinking of betting on both of them to win. Because they must do so if they want to have an advantage before playing away games next time.

Atalanta will host Bayer Leverkusen in 3 days time. It will really be their round 16 1st leg. Honesty, It hard to predict who will win in the match, because both teams are actually strong. Leverkusen have been keeping decent performance lately, they drew against Bayern Munich in their last match. While Atalanta lost their last match to Roma, but that doesn't guarantee that they are probably weak. Am looking forward to see how this interesting match will end.

Sevilla has been the ruler of the European league by being the team that has collected the most European leagues trophy so far, with their experience in the European league of course making Sevilla one of the favorite teams to advance to the next round, so far Sevilla performance is quite consistent both in the league and in the league. the european league and it's different with westham which slowly looks like they are starting to loosen up a bit and in my opinion sevilla will have a greater chance of winning in the first leg later than westham.

Considering Galatasaray is a team that is doing horrible and just lost to Konyaspor, I am pretty sure that not only will Barcelona win against GS, but they will also end up dominating that game as well. I am guessing 4-0 type of score is not unlikely.

Sure galatasaray played differently in Europa and they finished their group at the first stage, there is no denying that but at the same time we have to look at their domestic league results as well. A team that is 12th in Turkish league versus a team that is third in la liga, that difference is staggering and this is a new Barcelona as well. If they were this good from the start, they would be fighting for the top spot in la liga right now.

Even Europa Cup is completely different from local leagues but still every team's form is having some good impact on these matches Atlanta is going to play against Leverkusen which is in very good form, and recently they have very good game against FC Bayern, so It's going to be some advantage for them on other side Atlanta after having very good time now recently losing matches very frequently, and now they are at sixth in Italian League which is worst for them as once they were a strong contender for staying at third or fourth spot so here most chance German Giant can go through.

After this we have some more very interesting matches like Sevilla vs West Ham both are very good and quality teams but Sevilla is surely having very good time in this cup so most chances they will qualify for next round easily.

[Gosgosking]

Barcelona surely were not in good shape at start of this season, and they were facing some worst results with knock out of Champions League and having very bad results in La Liga now all suddenly change, and they are preparing for next season and going to for end of this season very positively after beating Napoli they have very good chance for win in this Cup because Xavi and Auba both factors are giving them very strong favor with now they are already in top four in Spanish League with chance of going at Third spot which is surely not bad for them after all these bad days.

Right now, they have nearly two weeks for next match in Europa League as first match is going to hold in Turkey on 17th March 2022 hopefully we will have another very strong and good performance from them in this match.

Yesterday Barcelona played against Elche and won with great difficulty despite the fact that Elche is one of the worst teams in La Liga. I see that Barcelona still have a huge problem with efficiency in attack - they create a lot of chances but convert only some of them. Well, their defense is also not perfect. Therefore, I would not argue that Barcelona will easily beat Galatasaray.

Barcelona are having serious problem with good defence presently they successfully defeated etche because etche is not a strong team. It is as if them winning etche was a narrow escape because their performance was not that very lively the Barcelona I used to know.

[Desmong]

Barcelona would have enjoyed the best of Sergio Aguero.
They lost him several times to injury and finally to heart failure.
I know he's worth and I know what he can do to improve the team.

Sevilla is doing well and they are know for doing well. Apart from to say that they are doing well, they also have great history in the Europa League. Barcelona in their own has fixed their problems and doing well in the league. They are big favourites for the europa league for this season or year but I don't want to see spain- Spain finals.

Sevilla as favorite team will lead to final because they are the most ever achievement with uefa eruope league competition so far and always success lead to final and get trophy, but next round against with West Ham United looks not easy for Sevilla but looking on domestic league standing place Sevilla more favorite than West Ham United. Last match on domestic league West  Ham United defeated by Liverpool and Alaves held Sevilla but still looks favorite Sevilla for winning on first leg where have benefit with playing first home.

No remarkable history of previous club victories will make any team an absolute favorite of any tournament based on this. You can speculate on this topic as much as you like, but with each new draw everything starts over and each team has a chance to become a winner. Also, do not forget that a single misfire can cost any team relegation from the tournament and, unlike the domestic championship, there is no chance to correct the situation in the remaining matches. There are still a lot of worthy teams from the leading European championships, and Seville itself has important matches in the championship in parallel, and I don't think that Seville is ready to sacrifice the domestic championship for the Europa League, so anything is possible along the way.

That is also an very interesting match for me because i think that both of the teams are very strong even though they are not really in the focus of the average football fan because they are not as famous and well known as other teams in their national leagues like Roma, Inter, AC Milan in the italian league or FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund in the german league.
I don't know to much about Atalanta Bergamo to be honest except that they were doing very well in the Champions League in the last few years where they managed to reach the play-off rounds two times in a row. Bayern Leverkusen also has a strong team with a lot of young and talented players.
This could be an interesting match.

Yes maybe in 1st leg Sevilla will lead because playing at home and that one is an advantage. they have to continue before creating at least 2 different goals because when they only draw 1 different goal, that possible they will get hard to the next round. West ham is great when playing at home, They will be able to create 2 goals and break Sevilla's dominance. So, the key is Sevilla must win in 1st leg with much different goal if want to continue to the next round

Barca are in a positive trend, in their own domestic league they are playing very well, in the last 10 matches Barca are completely unbeaten even Barca now have managed to occupy the third position in their domestic league, very in contrast to Galatasaray who played inconsistently in their domestic league They have just been beaten by Konyaspor with a score of 2-0, and now they are in 12th position in the standings, if we look at the two teams, it can be said that Barca will win easily over their visitors, Galatasaray, and Abumayeng will again list his name on the suspension board.

The Galatasaray team can be considered weak at the moment. They are not able to play well in their own league. On the other hand, Barcelona is now in their best form this season. They can play well against any strong team. Barcelona have proved it by winning against Napoli and Atletico Madrid. It will not be easy to win against Galatasaray today. Because they will want to draw by playing defenive. However, Barca's strikers are in good form now. Hope they will able to score.

This is really not the best season for Galatasaray, and they are no longer as feared a team as they used to be.
But we can't underestimate this bad moment either. Galatasaray will try everything to overcome this qualifier against Barcelona, as this is the only trophy that can save this season.
Even so, I think Barcelona are more likely to beat Galatasaray.

Really not best season for Galatasaray in this season but have lucky with achievement success on 16 round europe league competition after have bad performance on Turkish Primer League and will finish on down position standing at 12th. I think not any expectation hope for Galatasaray can continue for next stage because Barcelona as strength team right now, always consistent performance almost two months ago and now Barcelona have show impressive performance with several new player transfer.

I know he's worth and I know what he can do to improve the team.

It was so unlucky for both Barcelona and Aguero. Barcelona needed Aguero when they were financially down, and they were always down in aspect of team structure and team form. It was when people did not want to go Barcelona that Aguero agreed to go. We all know that despite  his old age he woukd have done good things for the club.
It was not his fault he has heart issues, if it was a choice he will not be sick.

Galatasaray actually doesn't have a really good squad this season. I think they were a little lucky in the European league, they were able to reach this stage. I watched Barcelona's last game and I can see how fit they are. Barcelona started to show an incredible change after Xavi, and as time passed, it puts Barcelona on it, football players.

I vividly remember that many here had said that Barcelona would be crushed by Napoli, and some believed that transfers and Xavi could change the momentum and in the end the latter have been proved right. Lastly I now feel that Barcelona are the favourites to win the Europa league, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they scored lots of goals on their way to lift the league cup.

Galatasaray is not with a good squad this season. moreover, they have to face strong teams in the European league. but it seems they are always ready in every game. that's what brought his luck this season.
while Barca, rose from adversity extraordinary. and now they are improving with the pattern applied by Xavi. Previously, it was difficult for Barca players to apply Xavi's training pattern. but after a follow-up to Xavi, their game looks to be improving.
